This position involves supporting a first-grade student who is Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing and uses sign language as the primary means of communication.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Provide direct nursing care to a young student with trach and oxygen requirements
• Support the student’s verbal and communication skills, including sign language use
• Accompany and monitor the student during school transportation to and from their regional deaf education program
• Collaborate with educational and health professionals to support the student’s academic and medical needs
• Maintain accurate documentation and ensure adherence to care protocols

Benefits of this opportunity include meaningful one-on-one interactions, a consistent part-time weekday schedule, and the chance to make a difference in a child’s educational experience.
